I couldnt agree with you, $3600 for Sears HET elite series, within months the first service call, now 2 years and we are out another $350 to BUY an EXTended warranty because the piece of crap doesnt work again, I feel very ripped off by a cheap product that Sears pushes, even the repair men say they have more problems with those washers and they are made to fail!
Sears should be investigated!!! just look at all of the posts regarding the same things, thousands?? where is our government protection agency against such consumer fraud?
